Congratulations, Ticketmaster users! Because of a proposed class action settlement with the ticket retail giant, anyone who’s used the site between October 21, 1999 and October 19, 2011 will receive a whopping $1.50 for every ticket purchased during that time. Apparently, several customers caught on to the fact that Ticketmaster was profiting from its processing fees. Following the settlement, Ticketmaster will still be able to profit off its sales, it will just have to make clear that it’s doing so.
